Baadhi ya watu wanaona zoezi la sensa kwa wiki nzima ni muda mrefu na halina maana, wakati wengine wanakiri na kusema kwamba ni zoezi ambalo lina umuhimu mkubwa sana kwa nchi. Pia kuna wengine ambao wanaliona zoezi hili la sensa kama utamaduni tu wa kila baada ya miaka kumi lakini kimsingi halina maana.

A woman from AWITA said “some people co-operated in facilitating the census success, but either don’t see and feel the benefits, or are beneficiaries who aren’t adequately briefed on the link between the two.” In addition to that, they are updated on how the population grows as the years go by, but, either don’t witness changes in sectors like infrastructure that should be visible and public knowledge, or information on such issues is lacking, or doesn’t flow properly and effectively.

Some people perceive the week-long exercise as meaningless, while others acknowledge that it is important, but feel that it is not a top priority issue. They would rather have the resources committed to the census invested in areas they consider more pressing. Yet others dismiss it as a periodic formality that only serves to show that Tanzania’s population is increasing, as if bigger numbers were something to be proud of.
